RFMD says farewell to Robert Van Buskirk
The corporate vice president of RFMD’s Compound Semiconductor Group (CSG) is retiring
Bob Van Buskirk has been a member of the RFMD executive staff since 2007. Van Buskirk joined RFMD with the acquisition of Sirenza Microdevices, where he had been president and CEO.
He led the integration of Sirenza and was instrumental in the formation of CSG and RFMD’s Multi-Market Products Group (MPG).
“I consider myself fortunate to have been a part of the formation of both MPG and CSG and to have worked at RFMD with many of the most talented professionals in the RF industry,” said Bob Van Buskirk. He added, “I am looking forward to transitioning to a new phase of my career where I will look to serve on boards of technology-oriented companies and enjoy spending more time with family and friends.”
Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of RFMD, said, “As a member of the executive staff, Bob has been a key contributor in the overall management of the Company, in setting the strategic direction of the Company and in communicating this direction to customers and shareholders. On behalf of the entire RFMD team, I would like to recognise and congratulate Bob on his many contributions to RFMD and wish him well in his retirement.”
